"It Doesn't Matter Anymore" is a pop ballad written by Paul Anka and recorded by Buddy Holly in 1958.
"It Doesn't Matter Anymore" reached number 13 as a posthumous hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1959, shortly after Holly was killed in a plane crash on February 3, 1959.
"It Doesn't Matter Anymore" was Holly's last US Top 20 hit and featured the orchestral backing of Dick Jacobs.
The song has been covered many times by artists like Linda Ronstadt in 1974, and by New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Mark Williams in 1977, who had a number-one hit with it in New Zealand.
Linda Ronstadt covered "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" in 1974 on her multi-platinum album Heart Like a Wheel.
